Probability, Random Variables, and Probability Distributions
When using a simulation to estimate the probability that at least 60% of a school's students will pass an AP exam, which technique most accurately reflects the complexity of student performance?
What is typically needed to create an accurate representation of real-life events when conducting simulations?
If a student uses a simulation to estimate the probability of rain on a given day, which aspect of their simulation design will most directly influence the variability of their probability estimate?
When estimating probabilities using a simulation, what do we call each individual repetition of our simulated process?
A simulation is conducted to estimate the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a six-sided die. The die is rolled 500 times in the simulation, and a number greater than 4 is rolled 350 times. What is the estimated probability based on this simulation?
In statistical simulation modeling, why is it important not to introduce personal bias when deciding how many trials to run?
When running multiple trials for estimation via simulation, why is it important for all trials to remain independent?
